Review of The Princess Bride (1987) by Stefan G — 28 Dec 2013
Honestly, I had fairly low expectations of this film, but it's actually really good. Yes, it might have something of a typical fairy tale setting, but it takes that setting rather lightly, to the point that it effectively satirizes the traditional fairy tale.
The acting sounds clichéd at first, but when the dialogue starts to go in a more humorous direction, and when the fourth wall keeps occasionally breaking, the characters end up showing more personality, and I think this makes for a more enjoyable film.
The film looks and sounds great, with its own unique charm proving that you really shouldn't judge a film by its façade.
